Lightning is a natural phenomenon that may occur everywhere in the world. Failure to protect critical and strategic such as refinery, oil & gas plant, petrochemical plant process, building, etc can cause big lost in productivity and revenue generating. The big lost could be an inferno, heavy damage, and ruin of the plant and its critical equipment. It is even a fatality of electric or thermal shock to human body that could cause a death.
